In this case, the non-event, i.e., not arriving on-time, is a negative event, and you can use SAP Event Management to alert the entire rail management system to the fact the train did not arrive on-time.
The short answer is to achieve higher utilization of your rolling stock.
In 1960, the average rail operator was doing well to utilize 5% of his rolling stock on any given day. Why such poor performance? Because there was no way to keep track of each individual piece of rolling stock using automation. Instead, there were spotters who were stationed at every train station and at other points who would visually track and report the location of equipment as it passed through. This led to very poor system performance.
With today's digital tracking capabilities, using technologies such as RF-ID tags, IoT and advanced train signalling equipment, train operators can know where everything is, at all times. SAP Event Management is a key player in this drastic operational improvement.
This is just a small sampling of the use of SAP Event Management system within the area of Rail Operations Management.
SAP EM is used in many other areas and is, frankly, under exploited.
Our SAP EM consultants can show you how to exploit SAP EM to energize your Supply Chain Management processes.
